bearded

Sporting facial hair

Bearded means having a beard: a bearded man, a bearded dragon.

The word extends to things resembling beards—bearded wheat has bristly awns, bearded mussels have threadlike fibers.

Bearded can also describe someone confronted boldly, from the verb beard: The reporter bearded the politician in his office.
